Listen--go get a stool test done. I came down with what I thought was a pretty bad case of diarrhea after a trip and it turns out I have an amoeba that they never would have diagnosed had I not done the test. This could be a sign of parasites--if it's only ONE time, I'd say it's something you ate, but mucousy and green is one of the symptoms of the infection I have. You are much better off knowing than not knowing, so do the test!

It is possible it is something you ate...anything with blue dye will actually turn your stool bright green! Blue tortilla chips, blueberries...etc. If you are concerned I would definately ask your doc but most likely its something you ate! It happened to me once to and it freaked me out!!! I described it as "radioactive" green - thanks to the blue tortilla chips.
